Fruit Sauce

1 cup juice of fresh or stewed fruit
1 tea-spoon arrowroot
¹⁄₂ cup powdered sugar

Let the juice boil, add gradually the arrowroot (which must be smoothly mixed with a very little water), and boil for five minutes. Strain.

If jam is used, half a cup will be sufficient. It should first be well beaten and then passed through a sieve. Half a cup of water should be added to it, and less sugar will be required.
